TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3 • 6:00
EXTENDED INTRODUCTION OF THE REMARKABLE LIFE OF IBELIN WITH PRODUCER INGVI GISKE.
CONVERSATION FOLLOWING THE ONLY GIRL IN THE ORCHESTRA WITH FILMMAKER MOLLY O’BRIEN
When Norwegian gamer Mats Steen died at age 25, his parents mourned what they thought was an isolated life. It was only once they had access to his blog that they discovered the deep friendships he created virtually before passing away from a degenerative muscular disease. They were unaware that Mats had long been leading a vibrant digital life that had left a profound impact on a community of fellow gamers. The film takes us on a journey through the breadth of Mats Steen’s adventurous online life, introducing us to Ibelin, his charismatic World of Warcraft persona. Through reconstructed animated moments from Mats’ gameplay, narrated entries from his blog and interviews with people who knew him as Ibelin, a picture of a remarkable young man emerges, one that underscores how community and soulful relationships can transcend the boundaries of the physical world.
Director Benjamin Ree (Norway 2024) 106 min.
In Norwegian, Danish & English with English subtitles
